Kill the Lawn (Part 3)

Sunday, after the rains of last week subsided and we had a couple of dry days, I was finally able to build three more boxes and get them properly installed. The ground was workable, but it was still a struggle getting them level. 

Now I'm ready to mix the soil and fill them: 48 cubic feet per box of vermiculite, coir, and compost.

Yesterday, I went to Des Moines Garden and Feed, on the East Side, and made a fair investment in vermiculite and various kinds of compost. I couldn't find coir, unfortunately, so I'll have to use Canadian peat.

On an unrelated side note: the cherry trees are in blossom.
